3 bedroom detached house for sale

Located on the sought after Longcroft Park estate in prime Molescroft, this striking traditional detached house stands on a generous plot of about 1/5th of an acre. The spacious property provides well proportioned accommodation across two floors that runs to just over 1650 sq ft (including the garage). Much improved by the current owner but retaining significant period character, it demands an early viewing to fully appreciate all it offers.

Longcroft Park is immediately recognisable to all those familiar with it. Located on the south-west side of Molescroft Road where many of Beverley’s most sought after addresses are to be found, it is a small estate of larger houses believed to have been built in the 1930’s in the former gardens of Longcroft Hall. This property sits towards the entrance to the estate in a prominent position but nicely set back from the street. The mature gardens extend to the north-east side of the house and accommodate a range of mature trees that provide considerable character. While the property offers a not-insignificant square footage, it is concentrated in a smaller number of rooms so doesn’t feel ‘rambling’ at all. It could well suit downsizers wanting an excellent location, generous room sizes and ceiling heights combined with a good sized and mature garden. The downstairs accommodation comprises: a spacious Entrance Hall, large Living Room and a spacious Dining Kitchen with walk-in pantry. To the first floor is a Master Bedroom with extensive fitted wardrobes and walk-in access to a large under eaves storage area (which may be suitable for development subject to necessary permissions), a large En Suite Shower Room, 2 further Bedrooms, Bathroom with separate shower and Separate WC. There is an integral garage which may provide an opportunity to extend the ground floor and there is space for a new garage to the side (all subject to necessary permissions). A double width block paved driveway gives access to the property and garage via twin, higher timber gates. There is a generous area of lawn to the front setting the house nicely back from the road and a good sized largely lawned garden to the side with mature trees and an interesting summerhouse with significant character. The owner has undertaken a program of refurbishment and upgrading in her time here to include a new kitchen, bathrooms, floor coverings, part rewiring and extensive redecoration. Our client has secured a more rural property which forces this reluctant sale.

This property represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a really appealing detached home on this highly regarded small estate. Early viewing is important to fully appreciate all it offers as well as its further potential but we have a 360 degree tour available which will provide an excellent insight.
